Is that better than Cursor? Same? Just different?

Vscode has agents built in now, have you used that UI?
That particular part is the same, roughly. The bigger issue is just that CC's a better agent than Cursor, last I checked.
There's even an official Anthropic VS Code extension to run CC in VS Code. The biggest advantage is being able to use VS Code's diff views, which I like more than in the terminal. But the VS Code CC extension doesn't support all the latest features of the terminal CC, so I'm usually still in the terminal.
All I can say is when I switched from Cursor to Claude it took me less than 24 hours to realise I wouldn’t go back. The extra UI Cursor slaps on to VS Code is just bloat, which I found quite buggy (might be better now though), and the output was nowhere near as good. Maybe things have improved since I switched but Claude CLI with VS Code is giving me no reasons to want to try anything else. Cursor seemed like a promising and impressive toy, Claude CLI is just a great product that’s delivering value for me every day.
